Distributioncolchica: (east of the Alps in NE Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, N Iran, Ukraine, S Russia (Dagestan), Romania, Lithuania, eastern Czech Republic, Armenia.

Type locality: “Kuban-Gebiet (SW Russia) und Mingrelien” (West Republic of Georgia).

incerta: Lithuania; Type locality: Vilnius [Lithuania]; restricted by Mertens and Wermuth, 1960 to ‘‘Wilna, Litauen” [=Vilnius, Lithuania]

orientalis: N Iran, probably SE Azerbaijan; Type locality: ‘Rehst, on the Caspian Sea” [= Rasht, Iran]  
Reproductionovovivparous. 
TypesSyntypes: unlocated (ANDERSON 1999)
Holotype: ZIS 4829 [orientalis] 
DiagnosisAdditional details, e.g. a detailed description or comparisons (238 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentTaxonomy: GVOŽDÍK et al. 2010 resurrected A. graeca and a number of subspecies. However, while these clades are clearly different genetically, they are not diagnosable morphologically. Gvoždík et al. (2013) suggested to distinguish 5 genetic species of Anguis: graeca, colchica, fragilis, cinerea, and cephallonica. A detailed morphological analysis of the entire genus is under preparation (Benkovsky ́ et al., in preparation).

Nomenclature: GVOŽDÍK et al. 2010 suggest to retain the name A. colchica (Nordmann, 1840) valid as nomen protectum. Consequently, they propose to treat A. incerta Krynicki, 1837 as nomen oblitum. Anguis is female as based on LINNAEUS’ original use.

Distribution: see map in Gvoždík et al. (2013) and Jablonski et al. 2016: 3 (Fig. 1), Jablonski et al. 2021: Fig. 1, Benkovský et al. 2021. Apparently there is not fragilis in Romania, only colchica (Vörös et al. 2012). See map in SMID et al. 2014 for distribution in Iran.

Karyotype: 2n = 44 (Altmanová et al. 2022) 
EtymologyNamed after Colchis, an ancient territory in Asia situated between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea; it does not appear on modern maps and only exists as a Greek legend, once famous as a home of sorcery (Gotch 1986).
